OXFORD, Miss. – Ole Miss men's basketball (3-0) defeated Southeastern Louisiana (1-2) inside the Sandy and John Black Pavilion on Tuesday night, 91-51.
Ole Miss cruised to a 91-59 victory over Southeastern Louisiana on Monday night to improve to 3-0 on the season.
The Rebels jumped out to an early lead behind a corner 3-pointer from Patton Pinkins, assisted by Ilias Kamardine. After Southeastern Louisiana briefly took the lead, Ben Henshall and Santiago Trouet hit baskets before Kamardine made two free throws to put Ole Miss back in front and spark a 9-0 run. Corey Stephenson came up with a steal that led to a fast-break layup from Trouet, and Christian Brown extended the lead to 17-11 with 12:15 left in the first half.
Strong defensive pressure forced turnovers that turned into fast-break opportunities. Henshall connected from beyond the arc, and Stephenson and Trouet scored to push the Ole Miss lead into double digits. The Rebels then used an 18-2 run over an 8:50 stretch to take control, with Trouet converting multiple steals into baskets.
Ole Miss closed the half with another scoring surge, highlighted by a corner 3-pointer from Stephenson and a 3-pointer from Kamardine off a pass from Pinkins. Brown capped the half with a two-handed dunk off a give-and-go with Kamardine as the Rebels carried a 49-20 advantage into the break.
Adam "Budd" Clark led the second-half attack, finishing through contact to complete a 3-point play and open the scoring. Moments later, he scored five points in 10 seconds with a 3-pointer and a fast-break layup after a steal by Henshall, extending the lead to 59-26.
Clark kept attacking the paint with multiple layups as Ole Miss built its margin. Yohance Connor hit a corner 3-pointer, and Kamardine converted a traditional 3-point play to keep the Rebels rolling.
Clark scored 20 points for the first time as a Rebel with another finish inside, and Dasear Haskins hit a 3-pointer to cap a 12-0 Ole Miss run late in the game.
Ole Miss hosts Nicholls inside the SJB Pavilion on Tuesday, Nov. 17, at 7:30 p.m. CT. The game will air on SECN+ and the Ole Miss Radio Network.
